Probably the best hard rock band to come along in the last decade ... our MAIDs have been serving us masters and princesses some of the best music imaginable for over 10 years.

Prior to forming BAND-MAID, KOBATO MIKU was part of an Idol trio called L’il Cumin. Recalling her time working at a Tokyo maid cafe, she had the inspiration to form a band that would wear maid outfits while playing “cool music.” The rest is history. BAND-MAID celebrated their tenth anniversary last year. BESTIE is a one-off collaboration with Mike Einziger of INCUBUS, so they created new, on-off outfits for this video. Try DOMINATION, live, from 2020, to experience the real magic of BAND-MAID.

Thank you *Marion* for doing my request 🤗 I have a question on skipping in the video are you concern with copywrite strikes cause *BAND-MAID* are really nice to reactors 😊

They still dress as maids. The "Bestie" videa was an exception, as it was a collaboration with another artist (Mike Einziger from Incubus). The only other times they have not worn the maid outfits is when they did their accoustic Christmas livestream a few years ago, and when they dressed in traditional Japanese fashion for a video they did under the name Band-Maiko (which was an April Fool's Day prank that eventually turned into a larger side project).

BM4! 🍺😁🤘🏻🕊️

Checkout "Don't You Tell Me" MV where they are in full maid mode in the video and the live version too as it's a bit special, also "Afterlfe" is a very maid themed music video. Although the maid theme is still with them it has constantly evolved and only on a few occassions have they deviated entirely from it. First when they played an April Fools joke and announced a changed of image and name to "Band Maiko" with stunning costumes, checkout "Gion Cho" or "Secret My Lips" . Second when they did an acoustic concert in 2021 , checkout "Sayonakidori" and "Catharsis" acoustic and finally for the song "Bestie"

Hej Agami Karma, welcome to the world of Band-Maid. Glad to have you on this journey !

Welcome, Princess, Po! Also, don't think I didn't see that Hard Days Night album cover. 🕊️ Also, they are still Maids, they were just off duty for Bestie.

Welcome to *BAND MAID!* 🤘❤‍🔥🤘

Marion, I know which Band-Maid member would love your maid costume. Kanami Tono, their lead guitarist and chief composer of their music. The Maids refer to as "the princess" and I'm sure she will love it. The Maids change their costumes every year. Kanami's current outfit, is what I would call "the maiden of yore".

Great reaction. They are maids because they know how to clean up whatever venue they play in. The second song was a collaboration with the guitarist from "Incubus" and the song was different enough from the rest of their songs, that they decided to change up their stage outfits just for this one song. Love you comments, new sub.

Now we are VERY lucky to have this BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS who is Very HAPPY and BEAUTIFUL VOICE. LET me say WELCOME HOME Princess ❤🤗 and Thank You for Band MAID

Welcome to the Maidiacs!! Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you listen to and get to know them, the more you're gonna love 'em! Thanks so much for the GREAT reaction and remember: Life is BETTER with BAND-MAID! 🤘🤩🤘

What a voice you have. That was fun!

There's a few videos they are not wearing their unfirms. Their acoustic videos and Band-Maiko videos where they wear kimono. The greatest band on earth! They have a few anime songs you might want to try out. Shambles, Glory, Sense, Different.

What a lovely reaction. Thank you so much! This band is incredible. Their catalog is huge, diverse, and creative. I'd recommend "From Now On" to check out next as it's quite different from the two you've heard so far (its an instrumental track with a more metal sound and is a ton of fun). Hope you dig further into this band - it's well worth it!

They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

You really rock that outfit girl. We got to see Band-Maid with a special guest! Loved your reaction

Welcome to Band Maid....get ready...you just heard the best rock band on the planet !!!!!!

Thanks for the Romaji lyrics for Choose Me. While I’ve been a fan of theirs for 2 years now, I don’t have the songs memorized.

Welcome, Agami. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million views just on their official YT channel, plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qjaspkspOYnIU.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzfaq.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:  2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMdhrJCDt7zIZ2Q.html  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKeUitF6t9CrkZ8.html  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iphKZ705zWiZs.html  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9eBoa56sbiZpWQ.html  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es2oiJB-u9DYkWQ.html  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNCKnrGW1K3RmJc.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out:  "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009  Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI  Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website.

I just subscribed because I am a big fan of Band-Maid 🤘

🔥🔥🔥

Band-Maid, the best rock band on the planet!

Well first of all Agami, you have a GREAT voice!! And you nailed your pitches like a real pro. Try some more Band-Maid please! They've got any type of song you want, from super hard to tear jerking ballad. Mostly they are hard rock, and these are two of their softer side. All of their songs though - are awesome! Great job!

If you love Japans number 1 band Band Maid you'll love the upcoming number 2 band Lovebites with Duo Guitar beast of a drummer and Asami was an R&B singer before taking on Power metal Lovebites (Named after Lzzy Hale song Love Bites (So do I) not def Leppard or Judas Priest but their influences are Helloween Iron Maiden and Judas Priest (They did a cover of Painkiller JP) here's Lovebite's with the song that hooked me to them Shadowmaker live at Ride for Vengeance Tokyo Dome 2021 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdNxfrWarJ6dgZc.html the bassist was their original bassist and founder Miho but Currently Fami is their new bassist and was on their highest rated album Judgement Day so far

You ought to check out the live version, it's better.😁

You were adding some Let's Carry On's to the verse. Suddenly, there was a lot of carrying on going on. :)

And a thing about the maid outfits, Agami: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids. Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!

Nice chorus arrange👍

Nice counter harmonies.

🤘🤘🤘🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🔥🔥🔥

Why MAID? Good question. It is because the girl who was formed this band was actually MAID. Miku Kobato used to work at @HOME maid cafe in Tokyo. It was her idea to have a rock band wearing the maid outfit. It crazy, right?

If you liked this video, I'm not the type you like, You should definitely see it I would like to introduce three more girl rock bands. LoveBites, "Set the world on fire" NEMOPHILA / REVIVE [Official Music Video], Gacharic Spin “MindSet”, You won't regret it. If you're interested in the songs from 40 years ago that formed the foundation for an all-girl rock band, プリンセス　プリンセス “GET CRAZY!” Show-Ya - 私は嵐(Music Video) You can get a good idea of ​​the level of Japanese girl rock bands.

Japanese GIRLS BAND is 40 years ago HARD Rock, SHOW-YA, POP Rock, princess princess. It started with Japan is, The best in the world It has become a country with many GIRLS BANDs. Now, HARD Metal GIRLS BAND 10 groups are famous. I forgot to say that. Pop, hard, metal Same level for all genres Only professional girls bands There are 30 to 50 groups. professional debut now. GIRLS HARD ROCK Band Some kids have slightly different vocals, That's all there is except for bands that have disbanded. HANABIE BHANABIER Aldious KOIAI TRiDENT Flowers are cold.
